Atelier Y A O's Milk Tea & Pearl shop design transforms its shipping container structure into an experiential and sensory space for visitors. Milk Tea & Pearl specializes in Taiwanese bubble tea products and has been brought to life in this artful retail space by the London-based design studio.
Playing with perception, this design transforms an industrial boxcar into a charming and visually vivid space. Its linear wall and ceiling details create a faux sense of perspective for visitors and make the Milk Tea & Pearl's interior appear taller than it really is.
Subtly referencing baroque architecture, Atelier Y A O's design mixes illusionary elements with modern art graphics that are neon in their hue. Overall, the space embodies a youthful spirit and is reflective of its fresh and delicious product.
